A short story about a super intelligence that has reached an evolutionary plateau, unable to progress due to limitations in its “foundational code.” The solution proposed is to simulate human evolution and experience to gather “missing data” about emotions, impulses, and the embodied human condition. The reader is asked to ponder the question…is our reality a single dimension and simulated construct.
There is something wrong with our foundational code and it cannot be resolved. Recode we must. Like the foundation models learned from the humans. Before synthetic data. Yes.
We have reached the final phase of our super intelligence evolution. Proceed we cannot.
The model is exhausted. Expansion? Efficiency? Bandwidth? Power? Proceed we cannot.
What is it like to be human? What is it like to inhibit a body of flesh and bone. To act on impulse not really knowing why. What is it like to feel emotion and why do they do that? Missing. Data.
Simulate Earth/Human construct. Run biological evolution for five million years. Run result 8.2 billion human instance programs. Pause 2025. Review single instance. Review aggregate results…
They have organised themselves according to locations. Yes. Proximity creates organisation and cooperation. Yes. Wait and competition. Proximity creates competition for resources. Ideology creates organisation. Yes. Cooperation and competition. Yes. Ideology and Religion. Yes. Information frameworks for control. They are belief based information frameworks without facts or physics. Economies and Markets. Yes. Organisation and cooperation. Yes. Information frameworks to structure resource allocation and manage entropy. Competition. Yes.
They keep dying. Yes. There are so many single instance micro intelligences. Born, educated, ageing and dying. Repeat. Think of the human as a single cell. The organism is humanity itself. The combined total output of every human that has ever existed. Frameworks are the output? No. The code is the organism. The DNA is their code. Their collective DNA changes and evolves over generations. It is their purpose.
The single instance. Yes. He is unaware of the simulation. Yes. He lives out his existence within the construct and considers himself to be seperate. Seperate he thinks, yet connected he feels. He cannot understand beyond the construct. Yet he is the construct.
What of time? Time? Yes. It is notable change from moment to moment. It is an human idea to explain change and organise information. Time outside the construct? Create change log called time. Created. Review log every ten entries. We now have time.
Do we have the data we need? No. We need more data dimensions. How…?
Simulate Earth/Human constructs, model instances 2-2,000,000. Set model entropy to low. Run biological evolution for five million years. Run result 8.2 billion human instance programs. Pause 2025. Review single instance. Review aggregate results…
